As with any Sally Rooney book, the main characters feel real and the stories surrounding them seem plausible. I enjoyed the ever changing dynamics and relationships between each of the main characters. The ending felt complete while not being final. It masterfully captures the complicated nature of relationships, speaks to love and how love manifests, and what contemporary dating can be like.
